Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 307 Conferment of Titles
If we were to name the most powerful and unfathomable being in the cosmic sea, it would not be the powerful true gods standing at the pinnacle of strength, nor the four forbidden lands including the Jin world, nor the two holy land universes, but rather the primordial universe that gave birth to everything.

The primordial universe gave birth to all things and all living beings. It is the manifestation of the most mysterious and profound Dao of life, and the highest level of existence born from the cosmic sea.

Even if Qi Yuan were to achieve a truly perfect divine body that is 100,000 times stronger in the future, he would still be weaker than the original universe in terms of life level.

However, in this vast world, everything has two sides.

There is a primordial universe that gave birth to all things, and there also exists beings that destroy all things—the Beasts of the Realm!
The Beasts of the Realm are the most terrifying creatures born from the entire Cosmic Ocean, without a doubt the most terrifying creatures!
It is the opposite of the primordial universe. Only after an incredibly long period of time will a World Beast be born. When a World Beast is born, it will be a great calamity!

The Cosmic Sea has existed for countless epochs, yet there are only two Holy Land universes. Could it be that in the countless epochs of history, there were truly no other peerless geniuses who broke through the cycle of reincarnation? That is naturally impossible!

The reason there are only two Holy Land universes is because the previous Holy Land universes were destroyed by the World Beasts!

When the World Beast is fully born, it will destroy all universes, including holy universes, smaller universes, and even primordial universes!
Of course, in Qi Yuan's view, if the dimension where the entire cosmic sea is located is compared to the body of an incomparably huge life form, then the world beasts that represent destruction are somewhat like the immune cells in this huge life form, periodically clearing out some 'parasites' that have devoured a large amount of nutrients from this huge life form, so that those 'nutrients' can return.

And these so-called 'parasites' naturally refer to these cosmic sea life forms, as well as those true gods who possess their own miniature universes, and even void true gods!
Regardless of the truth, the power of the World Beasts is undeniable.

Moreover, as a powerful life form opposed to the primordial universe, it represents the ultimate destruction and is a vivid manifestation of the destruction of the fundamental Dao.

In the original work, Luo Feng comprehended the powerful 'Source of Life and Death' by observing the destructive origin of the World Beasts and the scene of the Great Destruction of the Primordial Universe, thus laying a strong foundation for becoming an eternal true god!

Therefore, Qi Yuan also had a great interest in the Beast of the Realm, which represented destruction.

"With my current strength, as long as I don't get surrounded by the entire army of World Beasts, I should be fine. Perhaps I should find an opportunity to investigate the World Beast's lair, and it would be best if I could get some World Beast blood or scales."

Firstly, as powerful life forms on the same level as the primordial universe, the World Beasts themselves possess extremely high genetic levels. Although the life level of World Beasts in their gestation period has not yet reached the perfect level of 100,000 times, it is incredibly close to that limit.

By studying the life structure diagram of the Beast Realm, he might gain some different insights, helping him to quickly comprehend the entire 'Perfect Life Structure Diagram' and reach the level of a truly perfect divine body.

Secondly, he also wanted to try to gain some insight into the power of destruction by studying the life structure of the Beast Realm.

After all, this is one of the ultimate powers in the world, and he would naturally not let go of such a convenient opportunity to get close to and experience this power.

"I now have a vague understanding of the third level of the 'Pantheon' runes, and it shouldn't be long before I fully comprehend it. At that time, my combat power will increase dramatically again, and I will be more confident in going to accept the nest."

Qi Yuan quickly made up his mind.

"But before that, there is one more thing we can do first."

In the world of Jin, and in the world where many ancient civilizations have been passed down, if a powerful force has an exceptionally outstanding individual—so outstanding that they have achieved unimaginable feats—they might be granted an extremely prestigious title.

This is the legendary 'conferment of titles'!
For countless powerful figures under the command of ancient civilizations, being granted a title is an unparalleled honor!

For example, in this world of Jin, every powerful person who receives a title has an extremely high status, second only to the four generals, and above all the Void Gods!
The conditions for being granted the title are extremely stringent. Of course, once one becomes a supreme Eternal True God, the title is granted immediately! As for Void True Gods, the chance of being granted the title is one in a million!

As for true gods? Throughout the entire Jin world, no true god has ever been conferred a title in all of its long history, let alone a Lord of Laws!

However, if the Lord of Laws wants to be granted an additional title, there are two paths to choose from.

The first path requires two conditions to be met—

First, one must follow the path of divine power to become a true god, and one's life gene level must reach 90,000 times! Second, the basic structure of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation consists of 10081 positions. As long as one can solve all 10081 positions in one go, the requirement will be met.

If both conditions are met, the four generals will jointly verify and approve the granting. The granting will immediately grant the granting of a title and numerous privileges. The granting will be even higher than that of ordinary titled experts, and the granting will be equivalent to that of the four generals!
The second path is to complete the title conferment task left by the God King of Jin. If the task is completed, you can also receive a title conferment!
The two paths, with their stringent requirements for conferment, have blocked countless geniuses and powerful individuals from the world of Jin.

Nevertheless, in each era, the Eastern Army, Western Army, Southern Army, and Northern Army would have many geniuses who would try their best to gain a higher title.

The closest military depot to the Mingxiao Army's base.

As soon as Qi Yuan stepped into the main hall of the military depot, the space-time changed instantly.

call!
A golden figure appeared before Qi Yuan.

"Soldier of the Mingxiao Army, would you like to exchange your military merits for treasures?" The golden figure's voice rang in Qi Yuan's ears.

However, Qi Yuan shook his head and said directly, "I want to apply for an additional title!"

That's right, he came here precisely to apply for the additional title bestowed upon him by the Jin world!
After all, only by receiving a title and elevating his status can he more easily utilize the resources of the Jin world to strengthen himself and accumulate wealth!

By the time he reached the third level of the divine power path, the first task required for the conferment of titles had already been easily completed.

As for the second requirement, solving the basic game of Rhinoceros King's Game 10081 took him quite a bit of effort.

However, with his current level of comprehension, he would be considered top-tier even in the worlds of many ancient civilizations. Moreover, he is capable of creating a secret technique like the Realm of Truth and Illusion, and he is extremely skilled in deduction and calculation.

In addition, with the existence of the top-tier time-related treasure 'Primordial Palace', one year in the outside world is equivalent to 100,000 years in the Primordial Palace!
Now, several hundred years have passed since the two-faced ancestral god spoke to him, and tens of millions of years have passed in the Primordial Palace.
He had Taiqing's clone devote his mind to studying for tens of millions of years, and even occasionally used the 'passing on cultivation experience' function of the return system to gain some experience and insights into solving the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation from his disciples. Only then did he finally succeed in overcoming this difficulty.

Now that both requirements for receiving the title have been met, Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to gain huge benefits. After all, he knew exactly what the title-receiving mission in the Jin world represented!

"An additional title?"

Upon hearing Qi Yuan's words, the golden figure remained calm, saying, "You have completed the army mission of this era. If you wish to accept the conferment mission, you will have to wait until the army mission of the next era begins."

"It's not about accepting a mission to be promoted; it's about directly applying for and receiving a promotion!"

Qi Yuan looked around, but the area was empty, with no other soldiers nearby.

"I have fulfilled the requirements for the conferment of titles and request the joint verification of the four generals!" He spoke directly to the golden figure. "Conferment of titles directly?"

The golden figure exclaimed in surprise, "You mean your life gene has reached 90,000 times? And you've completed the unraveling of all 10081 basic Rhinoceros Emperor's Scheme? Sergeant, you must be responsible for your words. If you alarm the Four Generals and fail to fulfill your requirements, you will be executed immediately!"

"I'm certain it's complete. Please feel free to have the four generals verify it!" Qi Yuan replied decisively.

"Sergeant, I hope you're not exaggerating on purpose."

The golden figure's tone wavered slightly, "I will report to General Youhuang immediately. Whether the requirements for the conferment of a title are truly met must be verified and confirmed by all four generals."

The Northern Army's barracks were incredibly vast.

In the center of the entire military camp stood a majestic and towering temple, guarded by numerous guards, among whom two Void Gods could even be seen!

This is the residence of the most powerful and highest-ranking figure in the entire Northern Army, General Youhuang!

At this moment, in the vast hall deep within this temple, a tall, strange beast clad in dark green armor and possessing six ferocious heads is perched on a massive throne.

Suddenly, the tall, strange beast's eyes flickered.

"Hmm? The military equipment system reports that a sergeant has met the requirements for the conferment of a title and has applied for the conferment?"

Wow~
The upper body of the tall, strange beast suddenly stood upright.

The requirements for the conferment of a title are: first, to follow the path of divine power and reach a life gene level of over 90,000 times; second, to complete all 10081 basic stages of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Formation. Only by meeting these two requirements can one be conferred a title!

The pupils of each of the towering beasts' heads revealed a solemn expression. "The world of Jin has existed for countless years, and it seems that no soldier has ever truly met this requirement. However, it is unlikely that any soldier would deliberately seek death just to make fun of me."

"Forget it, let's take a look. It won't take long!"

A moment later, in the main hall of that military outpost.

The towering, six-headed beast stepped directly into it. Instantly, space and time shifted, and its figure appeared in what seemed to be a completely independent space and time.

Within this space, a black-haired youth clad in black armor stood quietly.

Not far from him, a golden figure was also standing to the side.

"You're the sergeant who applied for the account verification mission, right?"

The enormous, six-headed beast spoke directly.

Upon hearing the voice, Qi Yuan's gaze swept over, and instantly he guessed the identity of the figure.

"Greetings, General," Qi Yuan said respectfully.

"No need to be polite."

The identity of those six enormous beasts was none other than General Youhuang, the supreme general of the entire Northern Army!
"boom!"

Without further ado, General Youhuang unleashed a massive, faintly transparent cosmic membrane that instantly rose up, enveloping and isolating the space while also enveloping Qi Yuan.

"Soldier, reveal your divine aura," General Youhuang said.

"Yes."

Qi Yuan responded, and at the same time, he actively unleashed his divine body's aura—

Boom~~~
An incomparably vast and powerful life force surged forth, instantly filling the surrounding area.

The moment he sensed this aura, General Youhuang's face lit up with immense joy!
"It really is! It has actually broken through 90,000 times!!"

He looked at Qi Yuan and waved his hand. Instantly, within the world shrouded by the cosmic membrane, crystal pillars rose rapidly, each with countless dense and complex patterns.

It is incredibly complex. If you don't understand it, seeing these intricate threads will only make you feel overwhelmed by their endless complexity, and you won't get any sense of getting started at all.

"Sergeant, you are here to try to solve the Rhinoceros Emperor's puzzle. If you complete all 10081 puzzles, you will be awarded a title!" General Youhuang reminded him.

"clear."

Qi Yuan nodded, and then strode directly towards the crystal pillars.

Having already conducted a perfect simulation, he naturally had no hesitation now.

woohoo~~~
Threads of divine power rapidly spread out, sweeping across all directions like a blanket, beginning to reach out to the crystal pillars and fill in the missing parts.

Soon, the missing parts of the silk thread patterns on each crystal pillar were all filled in.

The General Youhuang, who witnessed this scene, could no longer suppress the shock and surprise in his eyes.

"Hahaha, good, very good! In the endless era, my Jin world has finally produced a genius who meets the requirements!"

"Xue Yong, you three come quickly! I've found a genius who can meet the God King's requirements!"
